Welcome to First Line Fridays! The day we grab the book closest to us and share the first line. Join the fun and discover your next read!
Today I’m sharing the first line from Forever by Your Side, a new release from Tracie Peterson!
Here is the first line:
June 1880
“I want this job.” Constance Browing looked her interviewer straight in the eye. “I want to do this. And furthermore, I’m the best person for the job.”
After years of schooling on the East Coast, Constance Browning returns to Oregon and the reservation where she grew up with her missionary parents. She is accompanied by Thomas Lowell, her best friend and colleague, and together they embark on a project to catalogue the native peoples of Oregon for the Bureau of American Ethnology. But Connie and Tom have another purpose–to prove her parents are not involved in a secret conspiracy to goad the oppressed tribes into a doomed war.
Connie finds life on the reservation much bleaker than she remembered, and she is glad to have Tom by her side. But she also becomes reacquainted with Clint Singleton, the government agent on whom she had a crush as a girl. Now that she’s back, Clint finally seems interested in her, but Connie is no longer sure of her feelings. As tensions on the reservation rise and war looms ever closer, Connie and Tom search for whoever is truly behind the uprising. With danger unfolding amid shocking revelations, Connie will also have a revelation of the heart.

Happy Friday! My first line is from “When I’m with You” by Kimberly Rae Jordan:
“Michael Reed’s text alert chirped, disturbing the light sleep he’d been drifting in and out of since his alarm had gone off earlier.”
Uh oh. Someone forgot to turn off the sound on their phone. 😉 Thanks for sharing! Have a great weekend.
My first line is from HER SECRET SONG by Mary Connealy:
“March 1874. Hope Mountain
Near Bucksnort, Colorado near Grizzly Peak, Colorado
Wax Mosley was living a life that was going to kill him.”
This one’s on my TBR. Thanks for sharing! 🙂
Happy Friday!
Over on my blog I am sharing the first line of Rocky Mountain Revelation by Lisa J. Flickinger
“A sharp squeal pierced the air, followed by a dull thud.”

Happy Friday! 😀
On my blog, I’m sharing from Forgiven Again by Gina Holder. I’m currently reading The Gentleman and the Thief by Sarah M. Even, so I’ll share the first line from there.
“Hollis Darby learned two things at the knee of his not-so-dear, long-departed, low-life, scoundrel of a father: how to gamble beyond what was advisable and how to be an utter disappointment to his family.”
I hope you have a great weekend! 🙂❤📚
Ha! That’s a great opening line. Thanks for sharing! 🙂
